Appeal No. 1996-1244 Page 2
Application No. 08/082,782
BACKGROUND
Appellant's invention relates to a device for processing
foils for green-tape circuits. The claimed device includes
several structural elements including, inter alia,(1) a
plurality of containers of supports for the foils, (2) a
conveyor means for transporting the foils, (3) moveable
carriage means for withdrawing the supports in a programmed
manner, (4) a discharge or removal station wherein the
supports may be removed from the foils,(5) an alignment
station wherein the foils may be aligned, and (6) a
superimposing and anchoring station wherein a number of the
foils may be superimposed and anchored to one another.
According to appellant's specification at pages 1 and 2, the
green-tape foils have a "thickness of the order of 0.1 - 0.5
mm" and consist of:
ceramics pre-fired at a low temperature and
containing glass fibers and possessing designed
properties of viscosity and temperature, the foils
consisting also of refractory materials used as
fillers so as to be able to comply with the
coefficient of thermal expansion of the alumina.
Appellant alleges that the foils possess no rigidity and
require a support for their handling (specification, page 2).
